@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon I don't understand, why would you treat a LGBT as a patient, it's not a sickness? Or is this meant as "when they are sick, like have the flu"?

[sam4000@troet.cafe]

@hermannus @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon

This naturally refers to a patient, meaning they are ill or injured accordingly.

LGBTQA* refers, of course, to sexual identity or orientation.

@vampirdaddy @JessTheUnstill @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon actually it's closer to 5 years without parole, because of "guarantor's position" (aka. "duty to care").

• If their inaction foreseeably caused someone's death they may be directly on the hook for a first degree murder or at least manslaughter charge of extra severity, so up to lifetime no less than 15-35 years without parole.

Or as Firefighters know:

You don't stop CPR'ing someone until the doctor orders the paramedic to drag you away from the body!

#NotLegalAdvice but in either case one wouldn't even get hired as a pathologist in Somalia with that "career suicide"…

@enigmatico @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon kinda like scene where he explains students that they won't be able to save everyone and inevitably have people die in their arms through no fault if their own, so if they don't like that they should seek a different career.

@JessTheUnstill @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon my response to that is "if you don't like cutting down trees, why did you become a lumberjack?"

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon same with teaching kids:

You don't get to choose their upbringing, but you can, decide to be a good teacher and a person they trust…

- And thus empower them to become better adults!

Same for pharmacists who don't want to dispense abortion pills, or county clerks who don't want to issue licenses for same-sex marriages. Guess you're in the wrong career.

[aamurusko79@tech.lgbt]

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Phew! I'm so glad they sensored that shit from there, so no one would be offended by it. Nevermind the homophobic attitude that called for not treating queer people.

[lunadragofelis@void.lgbt]

@hermannus @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon the latter. There are hateful people, not just in medicine, who want to refuse service to LGBT people.

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon
Good answer

Same holds for if the patient is old, female, dark, non-English, non-verbal, or support a different soccer team... you treat them with the exact same care and quality, and if you can't do that for personal reasons, you really really really need to find a different career, but you should also grow the fuck up
